About Jillanne

Jillanne Hecker is a licensed counselor with six years of clinical experience. She holds LPCC and LMHC credentials and practices from Florida. She focuses on common and complex concerns so people can find practical ways forward.

She helps with stress and anxiety, depression and bipolar mood concerns, trauma and grief, and struggles with self-esteem. Addictions, eating issues, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue are also part of her work. Family and relationship difficulties are included among the issues she addresses.

Background and approach

Her style is direct and compassionate. Sessions are aimed at clear goals and small, achievable changes. She uses straightforward tools so a person can try something between sessions and see what works.

Her training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing. These methods are used to reduce symptoms, build coping skills, and process difficult memories. In practice she listens first, then offers concrete strategies.

She works with each person’s values and life situation when planning next steps. The aim is steady progress toward better daily functioning and clearer decision making. Jillanne practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.

She provides several online session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and teaches skills people can practice between sessions.

EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. It can be useful for people coping with trauma and repeating painful memories that affect daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, life context, and preferences and then suggest a path to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That range makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, travel plans, or caregiving responsibilities. It also allows someone to choose the format that feels most comfortable while still working on the same therapeutic goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
